Jesus
Verse 1
D
G
turned in his crown of thorns today
D
And announced to the Earth and
G
the Heavens the end of his reign
D
And took a seat next to the Devil and
G
said "I need a new name"
Bm
And the coming never came
G
Verse 2
D
My whole life,
G
I fervently served him and obeyed
D
And I walked through this
world full of sinners
G
And I kept them at bay
D
'Cause there's only enough room at
G
his table for the souls that are saved
Bm
And they're com ing to
G
shut the gate
Bm
G
You're too little and too late
Bm
G
And you can't get in on that name
Verse 3
But I don't buy it
A
Bm
I refuse to think that my best
friend's going to Hell anymore
G
And condescend to offer
A
her a key to her salvation
Bm
Like it's something I have
G
and can afford
And I won't blame my parents
A
for clinging to the good
Bm
It helps that it makes sense
D
G
of it all
And believing in a story like
A
it was the Bible
Bm
G
When it was just a tale made tall
Verse 4
D
Hey ya
Bm
Hey
Hey ya
G
Verse 5
D
Now I wake up to the most
G
D
spirit- rattling scare
As I'm losing my religion,
A
G
layer by layer
D
'Cause it's triggering all of the trip
G
lines and the traps and the snares
Bm
G
It's that old device called fear
Bm
That old device called fear
G
Verse 6
D
A
Bm
And now it's the long ride
Am
G
through the unknown which I embrace
A
D
And the cops and the robbers,
and the cowboys and the injuns
G
Have got the same face
D
We're just each of us doing our
G
best to get by day by day
Bm
G
And Heaven is yours to take,
Bm
G
and the choices day by day
Bm
G
Bring us closer or further way
Verse 7
G
I understood the risk that asking
A
any kind of question
Bm
G
Could unravel me with one small fray
D
G
A
But I looked in my closet filled with ignorance,
intolerance
Bm
G
And a fear that was turning to hate
D
G
And that is not the meaning or
A
intention of the teaching
Bm
Or the truth from which
D
G
the message came
A
And I can't turn a blind eye to centuries
Bm
G
of conflict and wrongdoing in his name
D
His name
Verse 8
Bm
Hey ya
G
Hey ya
